There was a show?

You are so wrong, **haj**. Their Meatball subs with mushrooms and melted provolone are to die for.

How can they be saved,  
From their potash grave?

Okay, besides being the third most economically significant export from French Guyana (according to my fourth-grade Geography textbook, _circa_ 1965), what the fuck is potash?

Quizno’s blows chunks. If you want a good toasted sub, find a local place that makes them instead. There’s one in the financial district in San Francisco that’s really good. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name though.

It’s generic for any number of potassium salts. Personally, I’m thinking potassium hydroxide would suit those Quizno’s wierdos.

The show was actually based on the character from a series of ads for the now-defunct [FreeInternet.com](http://FreeInternet.com) (the show even featured a “Based on an advertisement created by…” credit). So apparently Bob can’t keep a steady job.

The creepiest Baby Bob commercials were when he was schmoozing some big bosomed chick in a bathing suit. I wasn’t sure if she was supposed to be his mother or his girlfriend. If it was his girlfriend then that would just be sick and wrong and if it was his mom I just couldn’t help but wonder if he was going to ask her to supply his lunch and not in sandwich form. A baby speaking in an adult voice is just plain creepy.  
I’ve only eaten at Quizno’s once, the sandwich was way too toasty and it hurt my mouth. If I wanted a crunchy sandwich I’d make one with crackers not bread.

Maine-Anjou is also a tasty breed of cattle:
